Frances Cha was a once-popular actress who found herself in her mid-forties with no more work, no more money, and no prospects to call her own.

That's not what makes this audition different from all the others Frances has gone on over the years--it's that when she arrives, the film's director is surprised to see that she looks exactly like his brother-in-law--but they don't find out until it's too late.
